ESPECIALLY against Toledo. I was there at the Big House when we got upset and I had the two biggest Rockets homers sitting right behind me the whole time. It was miserable, and I hate that team.

How would you know?
September 11th, 2017 at 9:46 PM ^
God am I glad that I attended during the relatively successful 02-06 years. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have attended 07-11. I guess '11 was a good season. Kinda.

I know Kansas sucks, but I'm still a little shocked that the Shane Morris we saw in Ann Arbor went out and went full Tom Brady on the Jayhawks. Good for him. It's a long time coming

As a freshman, I thought he looked OK - not incredible, but showing some promise. Then he got Nussmeiered as a sophomore.
September 11th, 2017 at 5:37 PM ^
Hot take: Nuss was MUCH worse than Borges.
September 11th, 2017 at 6:19 PM ^
Definitely. Borges was maddening in that he'd alternate a great gameplan with a terrible one, but Nuss was just a season-long grind of suck, with no hope in sight. And he's absolutely horrific as a QB coach. Gardner, likewise, went from being functional (and sometimes excellent) under Borges to awful under Nuss. And now look at Florida's QBs.
Gardner:
2013 (Borges) - 208-345, 2960 yards, 8.6 YPA, 21 TD, 11 INT, 483 rush yards, 11 rush TD
2014 (Nuss) - 174-283, 1896 yards, 6.7 YPA, 10 TD, 15 INT, 276 rush yards, 4 rush TD
Morris:
2013 - 29-47, 261 yards, 5.6 YPA, 0 TD, 2 INT, 40 rush yards
2014 - 14-40, 128 yards, 3.2 YPA, 0 TD, 3 INT, 27 rush yards

I think Nuss's reputation benefits slightly from the fact that we were all kind of mentally checked out during the 2014 season, as we were focused more on getting rid of Brandon. Nuss was Gerg-level bad, maybe the worst OC in school history. He delivered 2008-level results with far more talent. It's incredible to me that he not only got a soft landing at Florida but is still employed there.

Saban sweat on it that we all hoped would act like pixie dust.
September 11th, 2017 at 5:16 PM ^
Deserves the recognition. All honor to his name.
September 11th, 2017 at 5:26 PM ^
Sounds like his game against Kansas was lights-out good:
Morris, a former five-star recruit out of Warren De La Salle and transfer from Michigan, completed 28-of-37 passes and had career highs in passing yardage (467) and TD passes (five).
The article notes that even the yardage exceeds what he accrued at Michigan. I hope he has a lot of success for the rest of the year. Games coming up against Syracuse and Boston College will give him some opportunities to get a little recognition.

are we allowed to make Shane vs kansas/kansas state jokes yet?
...actually probably the statute on that is already up.
September 11th, 2017 at 5:32 PM ^
September 11th, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
he was bad against a terrible FCS team. One week doesn't make you a good QB. I do wish Shane the best at Central though.
September 12th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
In the biggest game of the season, at OSU (a de facto national quarterfinal), you wanted us to play a guy who'd thrown five passes all season?

You deserve it.
September 11th, 2017 at 6:14 PM ^
one of his TDs was a 75-yard screen pass where Chapman completely ran past the entire KU secondary along the sideline. A lot of wide open receivers in this game, but he still had to make the throws. No INTs. Looked pretty sharp to me.
September 11th, 2017 at 6:24 PM ^
September 11th, 2017 at 6:38 PM ^
If he were our starter, we might have put Cole at RT.
September 11th, 2017 at 6:31 PM ^
Wish him all the best, good kid and terrific representative as a U-M graduate.
Another positive for him - he now has much hotter females to check out around campus, combined with a favorable CMU girl to guy ratio of students. Sugar Shane gets to live the dream at The Wayside in Mt P - nice!!!
September 11th, 2017 at 6:41 PM ^
Get'er done, Sugar Shane.....good for him to get a chance to shine one last time.

Central-Eastern-Western #2-#4.

I like it. I like this ordering a lot.

September 12th, 2017 at 12:22 AM ^
Looks like Shane can really "Fire Up Chips".
September 12th, 2017 at 9:17 AM ^
Easy guy to root for. He handled a lot of tough situations at UM with class.
I wish him all the success.
September 12th, 2017 at 10:00 AM ^
Hope he has a stellar season and maybe get an FA contract for the NFL and make a roster.
September 12th, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
How some people or just following Shane so they can post here. I'm glad he's doing well but some are obsessing.
September 12th, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
still a michigan man, no matter what. he gave his all here in difficult circumstances.
i hope he pulls a matt guttierez and gets a shot at the nfl.
